This looks like a duplicate/linked to bug 1413821 [0], please see the discussion there as well where we stated that it needs to check if the path is within, for example for music. /home/*/Music /media/*/*/Music Then use url-handler, otherwise use content-hub. This should be the same for documents, music, photos, videos etc. Or alternatively for music (possibly photos, videos) check if it is in the MediaScanner store. 0 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-filemanager-app/+bug/1413821 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mediaplayer-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518332 Title: FileManager should have option for viewing rather than exporting Status in Canonical System Image: Fix Committed Status in Canonical Pocket Desktop: In Progress Status in Ubuntu File Manager App: New Status in mediaplayer-app package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-filemanager-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I would expect to be able to open a .MP4 video from the file manager, and have it play in Media Player... but the it seems that Media Player is not an option for playback, only Gallery, which is not terribly suitable.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1518332] Re: FileManager should have option for viewing rather than exporting
Is this bug going to be closed because importing is now an option? If so does there need to be a new bug for opening via URL? Importing a multi-gigabyte video from an SD card isn't going to work, of course there's not enough space on the phone's internal memory for that, not to mention the amount of time it takes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mediaplayer-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518332 Title: FileManager should have option for viewing rather than exporting Status in Canonical System Image: Fix Committed Status in Canonical Pocket Desktop: In Progress Status in Ubuntu File Manager App: New Status in mediaplayer-app package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-filemanager-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I would expect to be able to open a .MP4 video from the file manager, and have it play in Media Player... but the it seems that Media Player is not an option for playback, only Gallery, which is not terribly suitable.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1518332] Re: FileManager should have option for viewing rather than exporting
To make a general statement, FileManager "open" functionality tries to export the content via content-hub, which will cause a copy of the content to be sent to the destination app and a copy to be made. A "view" operation should be supported as well that simply calls url- dispatcher with the correct url so the content can be viewed by the app but not copied. This should be done for pictures and videos that live under ~/Pictures, ~/Videos, or SD card to prevent copies. ** Summary changed: - Media player not registered with file manager as a handler for .MP4 files + FileManager should have option for viewing rather than exporting -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mediaplayer-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518332 Title: FileManager should have option for viewing rather than exporting Status in Canonical System Image: Fix Committed Status in Canonical Pocket Desktop: In Progress Status in Ubuntu File Manager App: New Status in mediaplayer-app package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-filemanager-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I would expect to be able to open a .MP4 video from the file manager, and have it play in Media Player... but the it seems that Media Player is not an option for playback, only Gallery, which is not terribly suitable.
